Most software and systems generate audit logs. They are a means to examine what activities have occurred on the system and are typically used for diagnostic performance and error correction. System Administrators, network engineers, developers, and help desk personnel all use this data to aid them in their jobs and maintain system stability. Audit logs have also taken on new importance for cybersecurity and are often the basis of forensic analysis, security analysis, and criminal prosecution.

Security is a key consideration for any organization seeking to standardize and scale their cloud-native platforms. Falco, the behavioral activity monitoring tool from Sysdig, is becoming a popular option for open source container runtime security on cloud-native platforms built using Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry, and OpenShift.
